Police are continuing their investigation after a 16-year-old girl was shot in the head in St. Albans on Wednesday night.

Police received a 911 call at approximately 8:30 p.m. on May 10 regarding the shooting at 121-14 Lucas St. and, upon their arrival, officers from the 113th Precinct found the 16-year-old girl suffering from a gunshot wound to her head, according to authorities.
